Promoting ecological transformation: Public subsidies for the private sector in Italy, Austria, Germany and Poland
“The issue of green transition has been a long-standing and increasingly frequent topic in EU policy. Member States are agreeing at the European level to take joint action. However, the issue has to be tackled primarily at a national level with policies adapted to the local problems of the country in question. In addition to society itself, private actors are also vulnerable to Member States in the green transition and the fight against climate change. It is these that the states are trying to help with their national Recovery and Resilience Plans, jointly financed by EU funds.”
